j    And  he  went  on  his  iourney  from  the  South 
toward  h  Beth-el,  to  the  place  where  his  tent  had 
iitiaeebv  that  name  beene  at  the  beginning  ,  betweene  Beth-el  and 
Haai, 

4  Vr.to  the  place  of  the  *  altar,  which  he  had 
made  there  at  the  firft  :  And  there  Abram  called 

the  Name  of  the  Lord. 

5  ^  And  Lot  alfb  ,  who  went  with  Abram, 
had  fheepe,and  cattell,and  tents. 

6  So  that  the  land  could  not  <=  beare  them, 
hat  they  might  dwell  together  :  for  their  *  fub- 
Jance  was  great ,  Co  that  they  could  not  dwell 
:ogether. 

7  Alfo  there  was  debate  betweene  the  herd- 
aaen  of  Abrams  cattell,  and  the  herdmen  of  Lots 
cattell,  (and  the  <>  Canaanites,andthePerizzites 
dwelled  at  that  time  in  the  land.) 

Then  faid  Abram  vnto  Lot,  Let  there  bee 
no e  ft:  ife,I  pray  thee,betweene  thee  and  me,  nei- 
ther betweene  mine  herdmen  and  thine  herdmen : 
for  we  are  brethren. 

9  Is  not  the  whole  land  before  thee?  depart, 
I  pray  thee,from  mee :  if  thou  wilt '  take  the  left 
hand,  then  I  will  goe  to  the  right :  or  if  thou  goe 

th  e  right  hand,then  I  will  take  the  left. 

I  o  So  when  Lot  lifted  vp  his  eyes,  he  faw  that 
all  the  plaine  of  Iorden  was  watered  euery  where: 
( lor  before  -tie  Lord  dtftroyed  Sodom  and  Go- 
morah, inra*  as  the  3  garden  of  the  Lord  like  the 
land  of  Egypt,as  thou  goeft  vnto  Zoar) 

I I  Then  Lot  chofe  vnto  him  all  the  plaine  of 
Iorden,  and  tooke  his  iourney  from  the  Eaft,  and 

i  Lotthinlung'to    ^hey  departed  the  h  one  from  the  other,

5  So  all  the  |j  foules  that  came  out  of  the 
loincs  of  Iaakob,  were  *  leuentie  foules :  Iofeph 
was  in  Egypt  already. 

6  Now  IcTeph  died  and  allhisbrethren,and 
that  whole  generation. 

7  ^  And  the  "  children  of  Ifrael  |]  brought 
forth  fruit,and  increafed  in  abundance,  and  were 
multiplied,  and  were  exceeding  mightie ,  fo  that 
the  d  land  was  lull  of  them. 

8  Then  there  rofe  vp  a  new  king  in  Egypt, 
who  c  knew  not  Iofeph. 

<>  And  he  faidvnto  his  people,  Behold,  the 
people  of  the  children  of  Ilrael  are  greater  aad 
migntier  then  wee. 

10  Come,  let  vs  worke  wifely  with  them,  left 
they  multiply ,  and  it  come  to  paffc,  that  if  there 
be  warre ,  they  ioyne  them'elues  alio  vnto  our 
enemies ,  and  fight  againft  vs,  and  d  j|  get  them 
out  of  the  land. 

II  Therefore  did  they  let  taskemafters  ouer 
them,to  keep  them  vnder  with  burdens;and  they 
built  the  cities  Pithom  and Ramefes  for  the||trea- 
fares  of  Pharaoh. 

1 2  But  the  more  they  vexed  them,  the  more 
they  multipled  and  grew :  therefore '  they  were 
moregneued  againft  the  children  of  Ilrael. 

1  j  Wherefore  the  Egyptians  by  crueltie  cau- 
fed  the  children  of  Ifrael  to  ferue. 

14  Thus  they  made  them  weary  of  their  Iiues 
by  fore  labour  in  clay  and  in  bricke,  and  in  all 
worke  in  the  field  ,  with  all  manner  ofbondage, 
\  which  they  laid  vpon  them  moft  cruelly. 

1 5  •JMoreouer ,  the  king  of  Egypt  comman- 
ded the  midwiues  of  the  Ebrew  women  (ofwhich 
the  ones  name  was  f  Shiphrah,  and  the  name  of 
the  other  Puah) 

1 6-  And  faid,  "When  ye  do  the  office  of  a  mid-

him :  but  if  it  be  a  daughter,then  let  her  hue. 

17  Notwithftanding  ,  the  midwiues  feared 
God,anddidnot  as  the  king  of  Egypt  comman-

8  Then  Mofes  tolde  his  father  in  law  all  that

'  1 1  Now  I  know  that  the  Lord  is  greater  then 
all  the  gods:  -*foras  they  haue  dealt  proudly  with 
them,  fo  are  thty  e  nctmpcnftd. 

Then  Iethro  Moles  father  in  law  tooke 
urnt  offerings  and  lacrifices  to  offer  vnto  God. 
And  Aaron  and  all  the  Elders  ofLrael  came  to 
'eat  bread  with  Mofes  father  in  law '  before  God. 
3  ^"Now  on  the  morrow, when  Mofes  (ate  to

1 4  And  when  Mofes  father  in  law  law  all  that

Jiou  doeft  to  the  people?  why  fitteft  thou  thy

declare  the  ordinances  of  God,  and  his  Lawes. 

1 7  But  Mofes  father  in  law  faid  vnto  him,  The

18  Thou  botli  f  wearieft  thy  felfe  greatly  and

And  let  them  iudge  the  people  at  all  fea

2  4  So  Mofes  kobeied  the  voice  of  liis  father  in

26  And  they  iudged  the  people  at  all  fea  ons,

[  47  But  the  Leuites,  after  the  tribes  of  their  fa-

48  For  the  Lord  had  fpoken  vnto  Mofes,  and 
faid, 

49  Onely  thou  malt  not  number  the  tribe  of

children  of  Iirael : 

5  o  But  thou  malt  appoint  theLeuites  ouer  the

to  it :  they  fhall  beare  the  Tabernade,andall  the 
inftrumerits  thereof,  and  fhall  miniver  in  it,  and 
fhall  I  dwell  round  about  the  Tabernacle. 

5 1  And  when  the  Tabernacle  goeth  forth,the 
j,  Leuites  fhall  take  it  downe:  and  when  the  Taber- 
i  nacle  is  to  be  pitched,the  Leuites  fhal  fet  it  vp:for 
•  the  h  ftranger  that  commeth  neere,fhalbe  flame. 

$2  Alio  the  children  oflirael  mail  pitch  their

53  But  the  Leuites  fhall  pitch  round  about  the

the  Lord  had  commanded  Mofes. 

6  So  Iofhua  tooke  all  this  land  ofthe  moun-

vtterly,  and  fhew  them  no  mercy  ,  but  that  they 
fhould  bring  them  to  nought,  as  the  Lordhad

and  keepe  his  commandements,  and  cleaue  vnto

vnto  the  othtr  halle  thereof  gaue  Iofhua  among

therefore  when  Iofhua  lent  them  away  to  their

8  Thus  he  (pake  vnto  them,  faying, Returne 
with  much  riches  vnto  your  tents,  &  with  a  great

turned ,  and  departed  from  the  children  ofHradj 
from  Shiloh  (which  is  in  the  land  of  Caanan)  to 
goe  vnto  the  countrey  of  Gilead  to  the  land  of 
their  poffeffion,  which  they  had  obtained  accor 
ding  to  the  word  ofthe  Lord  by  the  hand  of 
Moles. 

i  o  ^  And  when  they  came  vnto  the  f  borders 
of  lorden  (which  are  in  the  land  of  Canaan)  then 
the  children  ofReuben  ,and  the  children  ofGad, 
and  the  halfe  tribe  of  ManafTeh ,  built f  there  an

i  z  When  the  children  of  Ifrael  heard  it ,  then 
the  whole  Congregation  ofthe  children  of  Iffael 
gathered  them  together  at  Shiloh,  to  goe  vp  g  to

i  j  Then  the  children  of  Ifrael  lent  vnto  the

1 4.  Now  therefore  '  feare  the  Lord  ,  and  erue

7  For  the  Lord  our  God,  he  brought  vs,  and 
our  fathers  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  from  the 
houfe  of  bondage,andhe  did  thole  great  miracles

whom  we  came. 

1 8  And  the  Lord  did  call  out  before  vs  all  the

1 5.  And  Iofhua  (aid  vnto  the  people ,  Yee  can-

28  Then  Iofhua  let  the  people  depart,  euery

23  (For  the  children  of  Ifrael  had  gone  vp  and

asked  of  the  Lord,  faying,  Shall  I  goe  againe  to

33  And  all  the  men  oflfrael  rofe  vp  out  of

6  But  the  thing  " dipleafed  Samuel ,  when 
they  faid,  Gine  vs'afcing  to  iudge  vs:  and  Samuel 
prayed  vnto  the  Lord. 

7  And  the  Lord  laid  vnto Samuel,  Heare  the 
voyce  of  die  people  in  all  that  they  mail  lay  vnto 
thee :  for  they  haue  not  caft  thee  away,  but  they 
haue  caft  me  away,  that  I  mould  not  reigne  ouer 
them. 

8  As  they  haue  euer  done  fince  I  brought 
them  out  of  Egypt  euen  vnto  this  pay,  (and  haue 
forfaken  mee,  and  ierued  other  gods;  euen  fo  doe 
they  vnto  vnto  thee. 

5?  Now  therfore  hearken  vnto  their  voyce : 
howbeit,  yet e  teftifie  vnto  them,  and  mew  them 
themaner  of  the  king  that  fhall  reigne  ouer  them. 

i  o  ^  So  Samuel  told  all  the  words  of  the  Lord 
vnto  the  people  that  asked  a  king  of  him. 

1 1  And  hee  faid,  This  (hall  be  the '  manner  of 
the  king  that  fhall  reigne  ouer  you :  he  will  take  I 
your  fonnes ,and  appoint  them  to  Ins  charets,and  ) 
to  bee  his  horfemen ,  und  Jome  fhall  l  unne  betbre 
his  charet. 

i  2  Al.'o  he  will  make  them  his  captaines  ouer 
thoufauds,  and  captaines  ouer  fifties,  and  to  eare 
his  ground,and  to  rcape  his  harutft,  and  to  make 
inftruments  of  warre  ,  and  the  tilings  that  feme 
forhischarets. 

i  j  He  will  alfo  take  your  daughters,and  make 
them  Apothecaries,and  Cookes,  and  Bakers. 

14  Andhewiltake your fields,and your vine- 
yards,and  your  beft  oliue trees,  and  giue  them  to 
his  feruants. 

1  5  And  hee  will  take  the  tenth  of  your  feed, 
and  of  your  vineyards ,  and  giue  it  to  his  |J  Eu- 
nuches,and  to  his  feruants. 

1 6  And  hee  will  take  your  men  feruants ,  and 
your  mayd  feruants,  and  the  chiefe  of  your  yong 
meri,and  your  a(Tes,and  put  them  to  his  worke. 

17  He  will  take  the  tenth  of  your  flieepe,  and 
ve  (hall  be  his  feruants. 

18  Andye(hallcryoutatthatday,becaufcof 
your  king  whom  yee  haue  chofenyou,  and  the 
Lord  will  not  g  heare  you  at  that  day. 

15>  But  the  people  would  not  heare  the  voyce 
of  Samuel,  but  did  fay,  Nay,  but  there  fhall  bee  a

20  And  we  alfo  will  bee  like  all  other  nations, 
and  our  king  (hall  iudge  vs,and  go  out  before  vs, 
and  fight  our  battels. 

2 1  Therefore  when  Samuel  heard  all  the  words 
of  the  people,  hee  rthearfed  them  in  the  cares  of 
the  Lord,  .  ,     ,„T      1 

22  And  the  Lord  raid  to  Samuel  ,  ||  Hearken

2.   When  Saul  was  returned  from  the  Phili-

.5  Then  Saul  tooke  three  thou/and  cho'en 
men  out  of  al  Lrael,and  went  to  leeke  Dauid  and 
his  men  vpon. die  rockes  amakg  the  wilde  goats.

5  And  the  men  of  Dauid  laid  vnto  him,  See, 
the  day  is  c  come,  whereof  the  Lord  (aide  vnto- 
thee ,  Behold ,  I  will  deliuer  thine  enemie  into 
thi;ie  h  mJ,  and  thou  Ih.ik  doe  to  him  as  it  (hall 
feeme  good  to  thee.  Then  Dauid  arote  and  cut  off 
thcl.po'  Sauls  garment  primly. 

6  And  afterward  Dauid  <i  wastouched  in  his 
heartjbecau'L  he  had  cut  off  the  lap  which  was  on 
Sauls  ^a-ni-.nt. 

7  And  lie  faid  vnto  his  men,  The  Lord  keepe

Lords  Anointed,  to  Lty  mine  hand  vpoh  him.  for 
he-is  the  AnoiiTted  ofthe  Lord. 

8  So  Dauid  ouercame  his  ieraants  with  thele

17  When  Dauid  had  made  an  end  of  ipeaking 
thefe  words  to  Saul,Saul faid,  !  Is  this  thy  voice, 
myfonne  Dauid?  and  Saul  lift  vph.s  voice,  and 
wept, 

1 8  And  faid  to  Dauid,  Thou  art  more  righte- 
ous then  I:  for  thou  haft  rer.dred  me  good,and  I 
haue  rendred  thee  euill. 

1 9  And  thou  halt  fliewed  this  day ,  that  thou

faying ,  Shall  I  follow  after  this  company  ?  (hall 
I  ouertakethem?  Andheanfweredhim,Follow: 
for  thou  (halt  (urely  ouertake  them  ,  and  <•  reco-

9  ^"So  Dauid  and  the  fixe  hundred  men  that 
•were  with  him,went,and  came  to  the  riuer  Beior, 
where  a  part  of  them  abode : 

10  But  Dauid  and  foure  hundred  men  follow- 
ed ( for  two  hundred  abode  behinde,  being  too 
weary  to  goe  ouer  the  1  iuet  Befor ) 

1 1  And  they  found  an  Egyptian  in  the  field, 
and  brought  him  to  Dauid,and  gaue  him  '  bread, 
and  hee  did  eate ,  and  they  gaue  him  water  to 
dnnke. 

12  Alfothevgaue  him  a  few  figges,  and  two

foil  it  came  againe  to  h.m :  for  hee  had  eaten  no 
bread ,  nor  drunke  any  water  in  three  dayes,and    ntu^'iTe, 
three  nights. 

13  ^  And  Dauid  (ayd  vnto  him,  Towhome

fayd,  1  am  ay  ong  man  of  Egypt,  and  feruant  to

agoe  becaufe  I  rtll  fitke. 

14  We  roued  vpon  the  South  of  Chereth,and 
vpon  the  c»a I:  belonging  to  Tudah,  and  vpon  the 
South  o.  Caleb,and  we  burnt  Z.klag  with  fire. 

1  5  And  Dauid  fayd  vnto  him ,  Canft  thou 
bring  me  to  this  company?  And  ht'aid/  Sweare 
vnto  me  by  God,that  thou  wilt  IN  ither  kill  mee, 
nor  deliuer  me  into  the  hands  of  my  mafter,andl 
will  bring  thee  to  this  company. 

16  ^  And  when  hee  had  bn.ughthim  thither, 
behold,  they  lay  fcattced  abroad  vpon  all  the

7  An  •!  alfo  c  by  the  hand  of  Iehu  the  fonne  of

1 6  And  the  people  of  the  hofte  heard  fny,Zim-

Wherefore  all  Ifrael  made  Onri  the  captaine  of

17  Then  Omri  went  vp  from  Gibbethon  and 
all  Ifrael  with  him,and  they  bedeged  h  Tirzah. 

1 8  And  when  Zimri  faw,thac  the  citie  was  ta-

which  he  did,eaufing  Ifrael  to  finne. 

20  And  the  reft  of  the  actes  of  Zimri,  and  his 
treafonthat  he  wrought,  are  they  not  written  in 
the  booke  of  the  Chronicles  of  the  Kings  of  II-

2 1  Then  were  the  people  of  I  frael  diuided  into 
two  parts :  fir  i  halfe  the  people  followed  Tibni 
the  (bnne  of  Ginath  to  make  hi  in  Kjng ,  and  the 
other  halfe  followed  Omri. 

22  Butthe  people  that  followed  Omri,preuai- 
led  againft  the  people  that  followed  Tibni  the

2  j  Intheoneandthirtie  yeere  of  Ala  king  of 
Iudah  began  Omri  to  reigne  quer  Ifrael,  and  ui^- 
w«f  twelue  yeeres.Sixe  yeerereigned  he  in  Tirzah. 

24  And  hee  bought  themountaine  j|  Samaria 
of  one  Shemer  for  two  talents  of  filuer ,  and  built 
in  the  mountaine,and  called  the  name  ofthe  city 
which  he  built ,  after  the  name  of  Shemer  lord  of 
the  mountaine,Samaria\ 

2  5  But  Omri  did  euill  in  the  eyes  ofthe  Lord, 
and  did  k  worle  then  all  that  werebeforc  him. 

26  For  he  walked  in  all  the  wayof  Icrobo.im

he  made  Ifrael  to  finne  inprouok.ng  the  Lord

27  And  the  1  eft  ofthe  acies  of  Omri,thathee 
did,and  the  ftrength  that  he  (hewed,are  they  not

28  And  Omri  flcpt  with  his  fathers ,  and  was

29  Now  Ahab  the  fonne  of  Omri  beganne  to

THen  Elifha  faid  ,  Heare  yee  the  word  of  the 
Lord:  ihus  faith  the  Lord, a  To  morrow  this 
time  a  meafure  of  fine  floure  (hall  be  fold  for  a  (he- 
kd,and  two  meafures  of  bailey  for  a  fhekel  in  the 
gate  of  Samaria. 

2  Then  a  prince  ,  on  whofe  hand  the  king 
b  leaned  ,  anfwered  the  man  of  God  ,  and  fayd, 
Though  the  Lord  would  make  c  windowes  in  the 
heauen,  could  this  thing  come  to  pafTe  ?  And  he 
j  faid,  Behold,Thou  (halt  iee  it  with  thine  eyes,but 
c  He  mocketk  at  ;  thou  (halt  not d  eat  thereof. 

t  Pa°P \T*-7g  dd  \  -    *      N°W  there  W6re  ^<H're  lePr0US  men  at  tne 

«ai«d  down  corne  |  e"  entring  ill  of  the  gate:  and  they  faid  one  to  ano- 
ther,Why  (it  we  here  vntill  we  die  ? 

4  If  we  fay,  We  will  enter  into  the  citie,  the 
famine  is  in  the  citie,  and  we  (hall  die  there  :  and 
if  we  fit  here,  we  die  alio.  Now  therefore  come, 
and  let  vs  fall  into  the  campe  of  the  Aramites :  if 
they  faue  our  lines,  we  (hall  liue :  and  if  they  kill 
vs,we  are  but  dead. 

5  So  they  roie  vp  in  the  twilight ,  to  goe  to 
the  campe  of  the  Aramites  :  and  when  they  were 
come  to  the  vtmoit  part  of  the  campe  of  die  Ara- 
mites,lo,there  was  no  man  there. 

6  For  the  Lord  had  caufed  the  campe  of  the 
Aramites  to  heare  a  f  noile  of  charets,and  a  noife 
of  horfes,<W  a  noife  of  a  great  armie,fo  that  they 
fayd  one  to  another,  Beholde,  the  king  ofli- 
rael  hath  hired  againft  vs  the  kings  of  theHit- 
tites,and  the  kings  of  the  Egyptians  to  come  vp- 
on vs. 

7  Wherefore  they  arofe ,  and  fled  in  the  twi- 
light, and  left  their  tents  and  their  hoi  fes,  and 
their  afles,  euen  the  campe  as  it  was,  and  g  fled  for 
their  lines.

||  mifchiefe  will  come  vpon  vs.  Now  therefore, 
come,let  vs  goe  and  tell  the  kings  houfhold. 

10  So  they  came  and  called  vnto  the  porters 
ofthecity,andtoldthem,faying,Wecametothe 
campe  of  the  Aramites,and  loe,there  was  no  man 
there,  neither  voyce  of  man,  but  holies  tied  and 
aiTestied :  and  the  tents  art  as  they  were. 

1 1  And  the  porters  cried  and  declared  to  the 
lungs  houfe  within. 

12  Then  the  king  arofe  in  the  night,  and  (aid 
vnto  his  feruants,  n  I  wil  (hew  you  now  wha  t  the 
Aramites  haue  done  vnto  vs.They  know  that  we 
are  aftamifhed,  therefore  they  are  gone  out  of  the 
camp  to  hide  themfclues  in  the  field,faying,When 
thfy  come  out  of  the  citie,we  (hall  catch  them  a- 
liue,and  get  into  the  city. 

•13  And  one  of  his  feruants  anfwered,and  faid, 
Let  men  take  now  fiueof  the  horles  that  remaine, 
and  are  left  in  the  citie,  (behold,  they  are  euen  as 
all  the  '  muiikude  of  Ifrael  that  are  left  therein: 
behold,  I  fay,  they  are  as  the  multitude  of  the  Is- 
raelites that  are  confumed)andwe  wilfendtofee. 

1 4  So  they  tooke  )J  two  charets  of  horles,  and 
the  king  fent  after  the  hofte  of  the  Aramites,  fay- 
ing,Goeandfee. 

1 5  And  they  went  after  them  vnto  Iorden,and 
loe,  all  the  way  was  ful  of  clothes  &  veflels  which 
the  Aramites  had  caft  from  them  in  their  hafte : 
and  the  meflengers  returned,and  told  the  king. 

1 6  Then  the  people  went  out  and  ipoiled  the 
campe  of  the  Aramites:  fo  a  meafure  of  fine  floure 
was  at  a  (hekel ,  and  two  meafures  of  barley  at  a 
fhekel,  k  according  to  the  word  of  the  Lord. 

17  And  the  king  gaue  the  prince  (on  whole 
hand  he  leaned  )  the  charge  of  the  gate ,  and  the 
people  '  trode  vpon  him  in  the  gate,  and  he  died, 
as  the  man  of  God  had  faid,  which  (pake  it  when 
the  king  came  downe  to  him. 

18  And  itcame  to  pafle,  as  the  man  of  God 
hadfpoken  to  the  king,  faying,  Two  meafures  of 
barley  at  a  fhekel ,  and  a  mea'iire  of  fine  floure 
(hall  be  at  a  fhekel,  to  morrow  about  this  time  in 
the  gate  of  Samaria. 

19  Eut  the  prince  had  anfwered  the  man  of 
God,  &  laid,  Though  the  Lord  would  make  win- 
dowes  in  the  heauen ,  could  it  come  fo  to  pafle  ? 
And  he  (aid ,  Behold,  thou  (halt  fee  it  with  thine

bods  after  the  manner  ofthe  nations  whom  they 

paried  thence. 

3  4  Vnto  this  day  they  do  after  the  old  maner : 
ey  neither  feare  God,neither  do  after  f  their  or-

aw,nor  after  the  corrimaurrcl'emem: ,  which  the 
ord  commanded  the  children  oflaakob,*whom 
e  named  Ifrael. 
3  5  And  with  whom  the  Lord  had  made co- 

yjenant,and  charged  them,  faying,  *  Feare  none 


19  Yet  Iudah  kept  not  the  commandements  of   bther  gods ,  norboweyeurfeluestothem,  nor 


he  Lord  their  God,but  walked  according  to  the 
afhion  of  lfra  el  which  they  vfed. 

20  Therefore  the  Lord  call  off  all  the  feede  of 
:frael,andaffi  fted  them,and  deliuercd  them  into 
he  hands  of  fpoylers,  vnrill  he  had  caft  them  out 
of  his  1  fight. 

">  For  hee  cut  off  Ifrael  from  the  houre  of 
Dauid  ,  and  they  made  Ieroboam  the  fonne  of 
>Iebatking  :  and  Ieroboam  drewe  Ifrael  away 
irom  following  the  Lord ,  and  made  them  finne 
a  great  finne. 

2  2  For  the  children  of  lfra  el  walked  in  all  the 
finnesofleroboam,  which  he  did,  and  departed 
not  therefrom, 

23  Vntill  the  Lord  put  Ifrael  away  out  of  his 
f  Etr.  hj  the  hand   jfight,as  he  had  faid  f  by  all  his  feruants  the  *  Pro- 

phets,and  caried  Ifrael  away  out  of  their  land  to 
Asfhur  vnto  this  day. 

24  And  the  king  of  Asfhur  brought  folke 
from  Babel,  and  from  n  Cuthah,  and  from  Ana, 
and  from  Hamath :  and  from  Shepharuaim,  and 
placed  them  in  the  cities  of  Samaria  in  Itead  of 
the  children  of  Ifrael :  fo  they  pofiefied  Samaria, 
and  dwelt  in  the  cities  thereof. 

25^"  And  at  the  beginning  of  their  dwelling 
there ,  they  °  feared  not  the'Lord  :  therefore 
the  Lord  fent  Lions  among  them,  which  llewe 
them, 

2<J  Wherefore  they  fpake  to  the  king  of  Af- 
fhur,  faying  ,  The  nations  which  thou  haft  re- 
mooued,&  placed  in  the  cities  ofSamana,knowe 
not  the  manner  of  the  God  ofthe  land  therefore 
he  hath  fent  Lions  among  them,andbehold,they 
flaythem,  becaufe  theyknownotthe  maimer  of 
the  God  ofthe  land. 

27  Then  the  king  of  Asfhur  commanded,  fay- 
ing ,  Carie  thither  one  of  the  Prieftes  whom  yee 
jbroughtthence,and  let  him  goe  and  dwell  there, 
landteachthem  the  manner  ofthe  God  p  ofthe 

countrey: 

28  So  one  ofthePrieftes  which  they  had  ca- 
ried from  Samaria ,  came  and  dwelt  in  Btth-el, 
and  taught  them  how  they  mould  feare  the 
lord. 

29  Howbeit ,  euery  nation  made  their  gods, 
and  put  them  in  the  houfes  of  the  hie  places, 
which  the  Samaritanes  had  made,euery  nationin 
their  cities  wherein  thev  dwelt. 

30  For  the  men  of  Babel  made  q  Succoth-Be-

and  the  Shephai  uaims  burnt  their  children  in  the 
fire  to  Adrammelech,  and  Anammclech  the  gods

15  Therefore  Hezekiah  gaue  all  the  filucr  that  ■

2  5  Ami  now  come  vp  without  the  k  Lord  to 


this  pIace,to  defti  oy  it?  the  Lord  faid  to  me,Goe 
vp  againft  this  land  and  deftroy  it. 

2i»  Then  Eliakim  the  fonne  of  Hilkiah  ,  and 
Shebnah,  and  Ioah  faid  vnto  Rabfhakeh,  Speake 
I  pray  thee, to  thy  feruants  in  the  l(  Aramites  lan- 
guage, for  wee  vnderftand  it,  and  talke  not  with 
vs  in  the  Iewes  tongue  ,  in  the  audience  of  the 
people  that  are  on  the  wall. 

27  But  Rabfhakeh  faid  vnto  them,  Hath  my 
mafter  fent  mee  to  thy  mafter  &  to  thee  to  fpeake 
thefe  words,aiid  not  to  the  men  which  fit  on  the 
wall ,  that  they  may  eate  their  owne  dung,  and 
drinke  f  their  owne  piffe  with  you  ? 

2  8  So  Rabfhakeh  ftood,and  cried  with  a  loud 
voyce  in  the  Iewes  language,  and  lpake,  faying, 
Heare  the  words  ofthe  great  king,of  the  king  of 
Asfhur. 

29  Thus  faith  the  king,  Let  not  Hezekiah  de- 
ceitie  you  :  for  he  fhall  not  be  able  to  deliuer  you 
||  out  of  mine  hand. 

30  Neither  let  Hezekiah  make  you  to  truft  in 
the  Lordjfaying,  The  Lord  will  fkrely  deliuer  vs, 
and  this  citie  fhall  not  bee  giuen  oiier  into  the 
hand  ofthe  king  of  Asfhur. 

3 1  Hearken  not  vnto  Hezeto'ah :  for  thus  faith 
the  king  of  Asfhur,  Make  f  appointment  with 
me,and  come  out  to  me,  that  euery  man  may  eate 
of  his  owne  vine,  and  euery  man  of  his  owne  fig 
tree,  and  drinke  euery  man  of  the  water  of  his

32  Till  II  come,  and  bring  you  to  a  land  like

a  land  of  bread  and  vineyards ,  a  land  of  oliues, 
oyle,and  honie,  that  ye  may  line  and  not  die.and 
obey  not  Hezekiah,  for  he  deceiueth  you,faying, 
The  Lord  will  deliuer  vs. 

3  3  Hath  any  of  the  gods  of  the  nations  deli- 
ueredhis  land  out  ofthe  hand  ofthe  king  of 
Asfhur  ? 

3  4  Where  is  the  god  of  Hamath ,  and  of  Ar-

35  Who  are  they  among  all  the  gods  ofthe

J  6  But  the  people  held  their  peace  and  anfwe- 
nothim  a  word :  for  the  kings  commaunde-

and  none  efcaped. 

z$  And  when  Iehofhaphat  and  his  people

27  Then  euery  man  of  Iudah  and  Ierufalem, 
returned  with  Iehofhaphat  their  head  to  goe  a-

which  was  right  in  the  fight  of  the  Lord. 

33  Howbeit  the  hie  places  were  '  not  taken  a-

7  And  be  not  yee  like  your  fathers,  and  like 
your  brethren,  which  treipafied  agairjft  the  Lord

and  three  thoufand  bullockes :  theie  were  of  the 
Kings  fubftance. 

8  And  his  princes  offered  willingly  vnto  the 
people,to  the  Priefts  and  to  theLeiuites:  Hilkiah,

10  Thus  the  feruice  was  prepared,  and  the 
Priefts  ftood  in  their  places ,  aLo  the  Leuites  in 
their  orders,  according  to  the  Kings  commande- 
ment: 

1 1  And  they  flew  the  PafTeouer,and  the  Priefts 
f  prinkled  tin  blood  with  their  hands,  and  thele- 
uites  flayed  them. 

12  And  they  tooke  away  fn.m  the  s  burnt  of-

fauiihes  ofthe  children  ofthe  people,  to  offer  vn

then  they  were  very  wroth, 

8  And  confpired  all  together  to  come  and  to

9  Then  wee  prayed  vnto  our  God,  and  let

10  And  Iudah  laid,  The  ftrength  of  the  bea-

we  are  not  able  to  build  the  wall.

the  people  by  their  families  ,  with  their  fwordes,  Jrourw»7ite,and

1  5  And  when  our  enemies  heard  that  it  was

euery  one  vnto  his  worke, 

16  And  from  that  day  halfe  oftheyongmen

^"J  Ow  there  was  a  great  crie  of  the  people  and 
J  of  their  wiues  a  againft  their  brethren  the 
Iewes. 

2  For  there  were  that  fayd,Wee,our  fans  and 
our  daughters  are  many,  therefore  wee  take  vp 
b  corne,  that  we  may  eate  and  hue. 

j  And  there  were  that  fayd,  We  muft  gage  our 
lands,and  our  vineyards,and  ourhoufes,and  take 
vp  corne  for  the  famine. 

4  There  were  alfb  that  faid,We  haueborrow- 
ed  money  for  the  kings c  tribute  vpon  our  landes 
and  our  vineyards. 

5  And  now  our  flefh  u  as  the  d  flefh  of  our 
brethren, and  our  fbnnes  as  their  fonnes :  and  loe, 
wee  bring  into  fubie&ion  our  onnes  and  our

ters Hew  in  lubie&ion,  and  there  u  no  power  e  in 
our  hands :  for  other  men  haue  our  lands  and  our 
vineyards. 

6  Then  was  I  very  angry  when  I  heard  their 
crieand  thefe  words. 

7  And  I  thought  in  my  mind,and  I  rebuked 
the  princes,  and  the  rulers,  and  faide  vnto  them, 
You  lay  \  burdens  euery  one  vpon  his  brethren : 
and  I  let  a  great  g  afiembly  sgainft  them. 

8  And  I  laid  vnto  them,  Wee  (according  to

you  fell  your  brethren  againe  ,  or  (hall  they  bee

could  not  anfwere.  '  .

Ought  ye  not  to  walke  in  the  feare  of  our  God, 
for  the  li  reproch  of  the  heathen  our  enemies? 

I  o  For  euen  I ,  my  brethren  ,  and  my  fet  uants 
do  lend  them  money  and  corne ;  I  pray  you  let 
vs  leaue  off  this  ||  burden. 

II  Reftore,  I  pray  you,  vnto  them  this  day 
thtir  lands,  their  vineyards,their  ohues,and  their 
houses,  and  remit  the  hundreth  part  ofthe  filuer, 
and  ofthe  corne,of the  wine,and  ofthe  oyle'that 
ye  exact  of  them. 

1 2  Then  faid  they , We  will  reftore  it,  and  will 
not  require  it  of  them :  wee  will  doe  as  thou  haft 
fayd,  Then  I  called  the  Priefts ,  and  caufed  them 
to  iweare,  that  they  fhould  doe  according  to  this 
iromi'e.

THe  word  which  came  vnto  Ierem'ah  from 
the  Lord  (when  a  Nebucb.ad-rerz.ar  king  of  a  Who  common. 
Babel,and  all  his  hofte,  aiad  all  the  kingdomes  of  [^ %*£££

2  Thus  fqith  the  Lord  Godot  lfrael,Goe,and 
lpeake  to  Zedekiah  king'of  ludah,  and  tell  him. 
Thus  (aith  the  Lord,  Behold,  *  1  will  giue  this  ci  rJM 
tie  into  the  hand  of  the  king  ofBabehand  he  (hall  ^jj.j.  5 
burne  it  with  fire, 

3  And  thou  (halt  not  eicape  out  of  his  hand, 
but  (halt  furely  bee  taken ,  and  deliuered  into  his

king  of  Eabel,and  he  fhal  fpeake  with  thee  mouth 
to  mouth,and  thou  (halt  goe  to  Babel. 

4  Yet  heare  the  word  of  the  Lord ,  O  Zede- 
kiah, king  of  ludah :  thus  faith  the  Lord  of  thee, 
Thou  (halt  not  die  by  the  (word,

6  Then  leremiah  the  Prophet  fpake  ail  thefe  j^g

4  And  in  thy  natiuitie  when  thou  waft 
b  borne ,  thy  nauell  was  not  cut :  thou  waft  not 
wafhed  in  water  to  foften  tlie* :  thou  waft  not  fal-

5  None  eye  pitied  thee  to  do  any  of  thefe  vnto 
thee,for  to  haue  compaffion  vpon  thee,  but  thou 
waft  ccft  out  in  the  open  fielde  to  the  contempt 

"thy  perfon  in  the  day  that  thou  waft  borne. 

6  And  when  I  palled  by  thee,I  faw  thee. pol-

when  thou  waft  in  thy  blood,  Thou  ihalc  hue:  e- 
uen  when  thou  waft  in  thy  blood  ,  I  faide  vnto 
thee,Thou  malt  hue. 

7  I  haue  caufed  thee  to  multiply  as  the  bod

uowed^bem  &co.  God,anJ  thou  becameft  mine. 

<>  Then  wafhed  1  thee  with '  water :  yea  ,  I 
warned  away  thy  blood  from  thee,and  I  g  anoin-'

o  I  clothed  thee  alio  with  broidered  worke, 
and  (hod  thee  with  badgers  skinne :  and  I  girded 
thee  about  with  fine  linnen ,  andlcoueredthee 
with  Hike. 

I  decked  thee  altb  with  ornaments,  and  I 
put  bracelets  vpon  thine  hands,  and  a  chaine  on 
thy  necke. 

2  And  I  put  a  frontlet  vpon  thy  face,  and 
earerings  in  thine  eares,and  a  beautifull!'crowne 
vpon  thine  head. 

J  Thus  waft  thou  deckt  with  gold  and  filuer, 
wd  thy  raiment  was  of  fine  linnen,  and  filke,and 
aroidered  worke  :  thou  didft  eate  fine  flou<e,.ind

thou  diddeft  grow  vp  into  a  kingdome.

which  remained ,  was  the  place  of  the  chambers 
chat  were  within. 

0  And  betweene  the  chambers  was  the  wide- 
nefTe  of  twenty  cubits  round  about  the  Houle  on 
euery  fide. 

And  the  doores  of  the  chambers  were  to-

hou'e  and  without ,  and  by  all  the  wall  round  a- 
bout  within  and  without  it  was  fieled  according 
to  the  meafure. 

18  And  it  was  made  with  Cherubims  and

20  From  the  ground  vnto  aboue  the  doore
